Doing my best

I'm doing my best to enjoy the summer, despite miserable temperatures. Yesterday the high was 108, but today we got a "cold" front and it was only supposed to be up to 97.

The sunset was gorgeous last night and I was wishing we were out on the trail with a better view. I can't wait for Fall and cooler weather. A friend of mine started an outdoor exercise program a few weeks ago. As impressed as I am with her dedication and as much as I wish I could make myself do the same, I just can't get out there in the heat.

I'm trying my best to get all my to do's done. I sewed on the Snow White dress today and it is going to be oh so cute! I got dinner on the table for the first time this week. I have finished and shipped out all pending jewelry orders and have almost finished a new piece of jewelry that I have been working on for a good while. That one last solder join isn't cooperating.

I discovered and am currently obsessed with the HBO show Girls. Have you seen it? It is witty, real and funny. I just love it! It reminds me of college and makes me long for the days of living with and hanging with my girlfriends all the time. I called my friend Christi, who told me about the show, but forgot to bring it up to her. She is one of my college friends that I miss spending time with.

I hope you have a great weekend! I will be at Central Market in the midst of Hatch Fest. Come see me if you dare. It will be busy there.

About Me

I grew up in a family of crafts people, with a fiber artist mother and a woodworking father. My maternal grandparents were also both crafty, always making things and tending garden. This family, with a make it yourself attitude, and home filled with handmade objects and furnishings has had a lifelong impact on me. While I no longer have time for much jewelry making I continue to find creative outlets via sewing, knitting, baking, gardening and so on. I love to share my creative endeavors with you.
